Technically, a Gunfighter doesn’t even have to present both guns at the same time at all!! He can shoot any stage and any scenario in “Double Duelist” fashion as he so desires, so long as he/she shoots one gun with the right hand and then the other with the left or vise-versa with the gun not being shot still in the holster!!! By the logic of one gun behind the other, that would mean that one MUST have both guns in hand when shooting Gunfighter style no matter what because the holstered revolver is IN FACT behind the other gun!! It would also mean that both revolvers would have to be drawn at the exact same time and brought to bear in total unison. I suspect that is part of the reason that the wording was changed and that part left out because it is onerous, and would lead to the kind of hair splitting that is going on in this conversation. If the wording is not in the current handbook, it is no longer, and may never actually have been, an actual rule.

I started out with one of the Miroku Winchester ‘94 Trappers that Schoolmarm bought for me for a birthday present. I shot three matches with it before I found a really nice 24” Hartford Rossi ‘92 in .45 Colt. Willy McCoy worked it over extensively and used it as a test mule for every new trick he came up with for several years. It was SLICK!!! I finally sold it to a shooter who wanted to pay me much more than I had in it and I let it go because I was in a real tight for cash! I wish I had it back! My own main match rifle is an iron Henry replica in .45 Colt. I violated every code of Henry ethics with a short stroke kit, lightened spring kit, lighter magazine spring, and aluminum carrier. I also changed the rear sight to an adjustable buckhorn and the front sight to an ivory bead! As a final deviation, I use a three round “no hop” dowel made from tooled steel and cut down to minimize weight. In the very near future, I plan to make and use the newly approved barrel heat shield. My favorite rifle was a ‘73 Cody Connager special in .45 Colt with a 16 1/2” barrel that was fully modified with every trick in the book, but a neighbor kid who is a thief and a junkie broke into my house and stole it and my favorite hammer double and they were never recovered. I have a 24” Codymatic ‘66 in .45 Colt and a 20” Codymatic ‘66 carbine in .38 special. These are my son, Hatfield and wife, Schoolmarm’s rifle and carbine respectively. The .38 carbine is being handed down to my youngest grandson. I use them all when the mood strikes me. I just purchased a Heritage ‘92 20” carbine in .45 Colt for a fun gun. It’s a nice little feller, but it needs just a little loving care. I’m having the forestock checkered to facilitate better purchase with my dried out old paws, Willy McCoy is poised to do a mild action job and lighten the hammer spring a little. It may never see action in a SASS match, but I can shoot my “Ruger Blackhawk Only” loads out of it and that’s why I bought it.

I believe that moving hands back and forth with respect to the firing line as a Gunfighter is totally acceptable so long as the muzzle of the gun does not point at a parf of the shooters body. If my left pistol is shot with that arm extended fully while I hold the other pistol in my right hand closer to my torso, but still aimed down range, I haven’t violated the letter or spirit of the rule!! Technically, I COULD use the old “throwing lead” motion, so long as I don’t allow the muzzle of either gun to point at any part of my body and I don’t break the 170 degree plane and don’t put a round over a berm or within the distance of disqualification in a prop or the ground. All that extra movement would certainly be counterproductive, as far as elapsed time goes, but it would in no way violate any rule!

WELLLLL… I HAVE put a burger with bacon and pepper jack on a split glazed donut!! I didn’t have any buns or bread in the house and didn’t want to eat it with a knife and fork! I’d do it again… -

Skip the lettuce and add mozzarella!! -
Those plugs are pretty common in some plumbing and electrical fittings. Check the hardware stores.

I’ve done it a time or two when I didn’t have any bacon! ZESTY!! I frequently blend in some chorizo when I make burger patties myself. I love the extra flavor!! -

Somewhere in my mom’s house are a couple of old old coin banks from the 1950s. One of them has buffalo nickels in it and the other has old wheat pennies including a few steel pennies. I don’t care to search through 70 years of accumulated stuff at this time, but I have made it clear that those are mine!! I collected them as a kid and they’re put away for me!

Governor Prickster has the best State Supreme Court Justices that money can buy!! If this can be gotten out of their hands and into SCOTUS, we may see some real action!!

They NEVER stop!! Even when they are told REPEATEDLY that these moves are not acceptable, they are never effective, and they are UNCONSTITUTIONAL , these malefactors continually and blatantly defy the will of their constituents and their legislators by trying to back door such scurrilous policies into law by any means they can dream up!!
